DH and I celebrated 20 years of marriage yesterday. I had been wanting a three-stone anniversary set to replace the itty bitty rock that was all we could afford back in grad school. But in researching, I found that while we could technically afford what I wanted, I could not justify to myself spending five figures on a tiny piece of jewelry. Enter AN and her glowing reviews for her Moissanite engagement ring. I did some research and comparison shopping of my own as well, and settled on this 2.25 tcw Moissanite Forever Brilliant ring with a matching band. I love it. It's exactly what I wanted, it cost about a tenth the price of diamonds, and I cannot tell the difference. I have my mom's 1-carat diamond solitaire and it is identical to my center stone. Plus, no ethical concerns like with diamonds. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is in the market for an anniversary or engagement ring.

That's a beautiful set. I too once said "Nothing but diamonds for my hands". But after losing my original wedding set I changed my mind and now sport a white gold 3 stone ring an matching band that was much more affordable.

Merge, what metal are the stones set in? Yellow gold. My preference. I don't look good in silver tones and don't usually wear them.

My sister has a Moissanite ring and she loves it. She's had it for over ten years and it still looks fabulous.
Your rings are lovely. I don't think I could prioritize buying diamonds either; they cost so much and even when they advertise themselves as "conflict free" can you really trust them? Moissanite is a great option.
